When should you stop interviewing? I just accepted a copywriter position for one agency (not main office) a week ago but today I got an email for an interview with another agency. Do I see what this other agency offers or stay loyal to my original offer?

I never turn down interviews. In the least it’s practice for the next gig you really want.

You’re a free agent. Most agencies offer at will employment meaning they could lose an account in a week and cut you loose or decide it’s just not working in two months and wave bye. The worst that happens is you say I’m really sorry but this other great opportunity just came up and I’ve got to pursue it. You owe them nothing.

Perfectly said. They could be cutting down for budget reasons and you would be the last one in and first one out. Do what's best for you!

I agree with the above comment, always be interviewing. Even if you love you job it never hurts to see what else is out there. Always take the interview.

Stay loyal. If you were still in negotiation you could extend slightly but the idea of starting and resigning a few weeks later is a bad look (caveat being it isn’t a life changing role which if it is another agency I am guessing no)

I wouldn’t interview somewhere after accepting an offer. if i had only received an offer, maybe, but not after accepting

That's a matter of integrity for me. You reap what you sow, so leaving your job might not matter now but down the road, it might come back and haunt you@

Honestly I took a job and left after three months because it was awful. That’s a good reason to leave, if it wasn’t bad though I would have stuck it out

I usually never turn down interviews. In my opinion, it’s always worth finding out if there’s another opportunity that’s better.

Reach out the recruiter you just interviewed at and let them know you’ve accepted an offer, but you’re open to other offers. It could force their hand to make a competitive offer. You never know, what do you have to lose?

I recently interviewed with Natwest and I got confirmation that they wanted to offer a role. Salary negotiations were started.
